Please give what you can to help Sama'a and her family relocate. They are fleeing Israel's invasion with few resources and no protection, and they have a new baby to care for.

The new biggest loser doc absolutely sucks. Here are some reasons why.
Yet he won anyway. Because what matters to The Biggest Loser—and our society—is a small body, not health, even though body size has nothing to do with health.
Alas, the documentary fails to explore or interrogate that connection, diet culture, or the show's contribution to it. Here's my review:

Netflix’s Fit for TV review: as big a failure as Biggest Loser
Netflix’s new Biggest Loser documentary series, Fit for TV: The Reality of the Biggest Loser, exposes some of the show’s problems, but ends up as a spectacular failure.

seconding this. i am not doing "representation", i am writing about fat smokeshows
I don’t…. love when people repost my art with comments like “body type diversity is so important.” I’m not doing it to earn a good grade, I’m doing it because I’m drawing sexy ladies.

Successfully defended my dissertation, “The Fault of Our Forms: Fatness and Race in 20th and 21st-Century American Literature and Culture” yesterday! It’s surreal to be finished with this chapter of my life, especially because it was a very joyous chapter. Feeling grateful and ready for what’s next!

Half a decade and there’s still no definitive test, treatment or cure for Long Covid. There’s still a significant stigma attached to it that leads many patients to suffer in silence. There’s still nothing being done to stop the spread of Covid, thus creating more Long Covid patients.
NEW: Millions will observe half a decade of #LongCOVID this year as the ongoing pandemic turns five.
For @thesicktimes.bsky.social, I wrote about the courage of millions of pwLC who have led the way in the face of so much willful indifference, cruelty, and denial.

"Sowing the seeds of chaos and accumulated despair is part of the president’s fascist agenda. We are afraid, and the imminent threat of violence forecloses our ability to imagine.
And yet, as soon as we cede the territory of the imagination, we’ve already lost."
